Chapter 79 - Revelations and Regrets

The battlefield was silent, a heavy stillness settling over the scene as the dust began to clear. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, remnants of the fierce battle that had just unfolded. Meng Qingshan, his strength waning, felt his heart pound against his chest. He lay there, gasping for breath, the pain radiating from his wounds, as shadows danced in his fading vision.Liu stood over him, sword still dripping with the remnants of their confrontation. He felt an unsettling mix of triumph and confusion. As he looked down at Meng, a sense of familiarity washed over him—a whisper of recognition that he couldn't quite place."Who are you?" Liu demanded, the weight of his own question hanging heavily in the air. There was a raw intensity in his voice, laced with curiosity and a hint of dread.Meng struggled to lift his head, every movement sending sharp pain coursing through him. But he fought against it, determined to make one last stand. The mask that covered his face was a barrier, a symbol of his new identity, but now it felt like a shackle holding him back."Why... do you sound so familiar?" Liu's brow furrowed as he stepped closer, the confusion in his eyes deepening.In that moment, something inside Meng snapped. He reached up, trembling fingers gripping the edges of his mask. With a swift motion, he pulled it away, revealing his face to the world once more.Liu's breath caught in his throat. The familiar features of Meng Qingshan were unmistakable—his brother's face, the very essence of Chen Ming. The reality crashed down on Liu like a wave, and the realization struck him with a force that felt like a physical blow."No..." Liu whispered, his voice barely audible over the chaos surrounding them. "It can't be..."Guilt flooded Liu's mind, a torrent of emotions swirling within him. Memories of their shared past flickered through his thoughts—laughter, friendship, and a bond that had been severed by misunderstanding and hatred. His heart raced as he struggled to comprehend the enormity of his actions."What have I done?" Liu murmured, his voice breaking. He fell to his knees beside Meng, the weight of his regret crashing down upon him. "I didn't know... I didn't know it was you..."Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...
